With the development of the Internet and digitalization, more and more information is available. Companies therefore have access to numerous information channels to anticipate developments and detect opportunities. Calling on a specialized service provider enables you to outsource the monitoring of all or part of your competitive, regulatory and technological environment. What are the advantages?
5 good reasons to outsource
- Control costs: implementing a monitoring system in-house can lead to high, uncontrolled costs (software licenses, human resources, subscriptions to paid sources, copyright). Using a service provider simplifies management and facilitates control of the dedicated budget.
- Focus the company’s internal resources on its core business: market analysis, management and operational actions. Digital intelligence is not a corporate business. This means that a specialized service provider has more optimized human and technical resources than most companies.
- Flexibility of resources: a service provider can respond more easily and rapidly to an internal need, especially when internal capacities are saturated. A service provider can therefore also complement an in-house intelligence team, for example by focusing on a particular issue.
- A specialized team and multi-disciplinary: business analysis, information systems, consulting, translation, etc… Monitoring requires a wide range of technical skills: setting up the system is becoming increasingly technical, and requires appropriate skills. The coordinated activity of monitoring, collecting, analyzing and disseminating information requires a sound knowledge of web technologies, monitoring tools, the company’s business, translation, data management and visualization.
- Technical and user support. This is an aspect that is often underestimated at the outset of a monitoring project, but whose importance is revealed in practice. Users sometimes need support to get the most out of the monitoring system. Reactivity in answering questions or solving technical problems is a must, as information must be accessible in the right format, at the right time.
